EDITORS COMMENTS
Take away that Bauble: Cromwell dissolving the long Parliament, 1850. This satirical illustration by John Leech captures a pivotal moment in British history - Oliver Cromwell expelling members of the House of Commons in 1653. The scene unfolds outdoors, amidst the chaos and tension of political upheaval. In this vividly colored print, we see Cromwell standing tall, donning his iconic hat and dressed in military attire. He commands attention as he orders soldiers to dismiss the parliamentarians with an authoritative gesture. A pig scurries past, symbolizing gluttony and corruption within the ranks of power. The artist's keen eye for detail is evident in every element of this composition - from the intricate clothing worn by both Cromwell and his soldiers to the mace held prominently at his side. The orb on display represents his role as Lord Protector of the Commonwealth during this turbulent period. Published as part of 'The Comic History of England' by Gilbert Abbott A. Beckett, this engraving showcases Leech's talent for satire and storytelling through art. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, political struggles remain timeless themes worthy of exploration. This print offers viewers a glimpse into 17th-century politics while also reflecting societal concerns prevalent during its creation in the 19th century. Its historical significance combined with artistic brilliance makes it a valuable addition to any collection.
